They work I think but they don't work on mobile at all
- Yet!
  
  At least the structure is there and baked in so it's only a matter of time 😀
- I'll add this to Summit for the next release. I don't know why they didn't just use the standard markdown >!
I think you want to start the spoiler with:

`::: spoiler spoiler

SPOILED TEXT

And then end it with

`:::

So that would equal:

spoiler

Balls

Do that without the tilde.

Edit: I also just noticed that, at least on desktop, a "spoiler" button is there when you make a comment (it's the triangle exclamation mark icon).

  With two
  
  line breaks
  
  Nice.
  
  Doesn’t do anything on memmy :/
  
  Success!
  
  Though I still haven't figured out how to get a line break after the spoiler on regular text.
- Amazing; thank you!!
- hidden
  
  This is a test

Aha! That got it. Three colons. Spoiler, then the text for the spoiler listing, an enter, n closing `::: and then it works. It doesn't work without the enter before the spolied text, which is just confusing and annoying imo. The >! Markdown is so much better.

But! You can enter anything after the initial ::: spoiler as the text to show before clicking

It's working on mobile browser for me, but not on jerboa. Jerboa doesn't seem to recognize several markdown notations.

that's a screenshot with the spoiler entry from the little triangle with an ! In it from the entry box

Edit: and the jerboa update didn't bring full markdown support lol
Test: || spoiler ||

Edit: dang, didn't work.

Test: ::: spoiled? :::

Nope.
I'm trying to get what the other guy said to work, please bear with my idiocy

If that is it, then ::: spoiler spoiler WTF :::
- spoiler
  
  WTF
  
  You need to place it across multiple lines, like coding. If it's all one line it just interprets it as text.

OHHH, that makes a lot of sense! I thought those underscores were there as a seperator between the content. Thank you! /gen
